What about the best analgesic used in post transplant period?
We usually use perfelgan but sometimes, it does not work.

I would ask our Prof. Halawa about analgia postoperative pain after renal transplant may be severe, but administration of systemic analgesia may be limited due to impaired renal function and respiratory complications.
thank you very much Prof.Halawa

Very insightful lecture regarding cardiac evaluation before renal transplant surgery. Though some confusions still in my mind specially regarding coronary angiogram and surgical or percutaneuos intervention in ESRD patients .

Good afternoon Prof. , Thank you so much for the concise informative lecture , the cardiac issue is indeed a point that should always be triggered , pre assessment and post follow up , kindly what are the indications of anti-platelets post Tx , and when shall they start ?
Is it indicated to close the AVF post Tx in heart failure individuals or post Tx ?
Do all diabetics will undergo MPI , regardless of the age ? Or Other risk factors ?
Thank you prof.

Thank you, Prof.Dr.Ahmed for this concise and precise summarizing lecture. I want to ask whether you practice and ask for tests yourself or do it as a cardiology preoperative evaluation (as routine). in other words do you leave decision of cardiac evaluation to a cardiologist who will plan the suitable tests himself?

Thanks alot for this informative lecture, prof Halawa.but what about idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy .we have a 23y old male patient, manual worker, ESRD (unknown etiology) on RHD for 5months only , normotensive , not diabetic. Echo revealed DCM e EF 42% not of ischemic or rheumatic . immune work up (ANS, C3,C4, ANCA) negative, TSH , S ferritin, S amyloid with in normal levels. ECG no ischemic changes . CT coronary angio
Normal .MRI cardio just DCM without any infiltrate , ischemia.Functionally , perfect he can climb 5 floors without dyspnea. So do we need any further investigations? And what precautions to be taken in post transplant period other than meticulous fluid therapy?

any family history of CKD , premature stroke and death in the family , consider Fabry disease as one of DDX in his case

Thanks a lot, Prof Halawa for the nice informative lecture.
But I would like to comment that being a pediatric nephrologist, all this about pre transplant cardiac evaluation was totally new for me.
In pediatric CKD patients, Hypertension and Hyperphosphetemia are the two most important factors which are the independent markers of cardiac morbidity in pediatric CKD population heading for transplant.

Between these two factors we face hurdles most because of hypertension.
We all know that pediatric hypertension is bit more tricky to manage as compared to adults. Almost more than 80% of Pediatric CKDs have hypertension.
As a part of cardiac evaluation in pediatric ckd patients prior to transplant we limit ourselves to ECG and ECHO and by these 2 investigations we evaluate patients for congenital major vascular malformations (aortic aneurysms, etc.), rhythm disturbances and other cardiac anomalies secondary to hypertension.
Proteinuria CKDs (congenital nephrotic syndrome, FSGS, HUS, C3 glomerulopathies, etc) are worst affected by hypertension.

So as pediatric nephrologists we come across hypertension associated cardiac abnormalities at majority of times.

Thanks

My Question!
is there any chance to do bilateral nephrectomy prior to transplant in haemodialysis patient with refractory hypertension to medical treatment ?

Thank you, Sahar
The is a role but of doubtful significance. By the time we do bilateral nephrectomy, other mechanisms have taken over (too late).

At our centre our surgeons defer the nephrectomy to after transplant as during the ureic period there is ureic coagulopathy which results in more bleeding and also prolonged ileus which is morbid and at times fatal. so a decision for pretransplant nephrectomy is like double edged sword.

Recurrent renal disease as contraindication if cause more than 2 rejection ,if am not

mistaken.

Your hospital protocol put Diabetes patient for angiogram only if symptomatic or with

Abnormal MPI ,do this protocol shows any different for risk stratification of diabetes

patient ,compared to CAT for all diabetes patient ,more than 50 years as suggested by

AAC and KDIQO.(also in our center ).

I will advice you look for possible secondary cause of hypertension like endocrine causes to renal artery stenosis.
I also want to believe you have use the maximum dose of the antihypertensives with a diuretic inclusive and be sure the patient is adherent on medication

We need to make sure about hypervolemia; kindnely remember that even KTI may be normal with no pretibial edema even in the presence of 3-5 KG(L). you can see that often and you see that the interdialytic weight of some patients is 4-5 kg but you do not see obvious edema or effusion
Also, notice that telecardyogram may not show you pleural effusion although you can confirm 3-4 cm of the fluid level while in the supine position using the CHEST spiral tomography.

in case yo dry the patient as we may see a percentage of patients are still hypervolemic you proceed to second causes

bu remember that we need to suppress aldostesterone/sympathetic activity son first choice is ACEI or ARB, paying attention to hyperkalemia.. we do usually prefer CCB blokers but alkk ckd patients need ACEI/ARB as the first choice

do remember that CKD even in the early stage is a secondary cause of HT
of course, still any other causes applicable for the general population is a probability and may accompany essential HT .. (usually, a secondary cause will cause abrup deterşoration in contrast to previously notes: just review the patients’ records to make sure)

my question regarding evaluation of blood perfusion on the capillary and small blood vessels level
is it needed or only what needed is excluding lesion at large coronary vessels level.

Thank you, Rami; MPI is of moderate sensitivity in CKD. It assesses the perfusion holistically.
